I'd also like to point out the Board has specifically requested that the Apache Maven Project should distribute jars from ASF hardware. We make certain guarantees to our users, and those guarantees require distributing ASF code from known, secure hardware (the ASF itself).
Thus, a jar repository will be created at the ASF, and ibiblio will mirror from that (and probably add some additional jars which won't ever be distributed by the ASF for various reasons). The repository will fit into our mirror framework, and there will be automatic mechanisms for ASF software releases to automatically flow into that repository (e.g. the point about releases taking (sometimes) months to appear at ibilio will not occur).
